    Details

    Foreign qualifications are normally checked by uni-assist before a university will consider the application. uni-assist says a result usually takes 4 to 6 weeks and asks you to apply at least 8 weeks before the deadline. Starting late is a common and avoidable way to miss an institutional deadline.

Requirements in full

Every IB applicant at Technical University of Munich

Your six IB subjects must meet the KMK rule; uni-assist converts your IB to a German grade (VPD). Nobody is ranked: five degrees use grade-based aptitude points with an interview or test band, three are open.

How places are decided

    • IB grades
    • Interview
    Aptitude check (2026/27 rules), no ranking: 80+ points from grades (overall 50%, maths ×3, science ×2, English) admits you; 71–79 means an English interview.
